Well, I've flat towed the 40 a couple of times-pretty easy to do. Trailered same 40 once-again easy.
Trailered Bronco with u-haul. Sagged the back end due to the way the trailer puts the front wheels of trailered vehicle so far forward. Pulled pretty well.

Uhaul trailers are very heavy from my experience... just towed a 60 serious over a mountain pass with a friends and it did much better. Class 3 hitch of course... does no one else use their 80 as a tow vehicle?

Trailered the 40 more than a few times. Used a UHaul for most. The key for achieving weight distribution is to back it on. I made the mistake of not doing that once and I was very tongue heavy, and did not feel very comfortable driving it.

I've towed my FJ 40 on a car trailer from Florida to the SC/NC mountains several times with my '97. Got really sluggish once we left flat florida and found some grades. No problems, but don't be in a hurry. Gas milage will be terrible........

No, actually the 55s were Owyhee Jackass's. He took the topless one to SLC. They came from Idaho. Nice paint job eh? The trailer at $1499 was some of the best money I've spent. Gotten a lot of use out of it. I was definitely glad to have it when I blew up my FJ40s tcase.

In last year Rubithon as we were leaving the staging area on the Tahoe side , there was a couple with a broken down CJ. They needed a tow to the main hwy because they could not find a tow truck to go into all the way to the staging area. She was really pissed at him for whatever reason.

I volunteered to give them a had and pretty soon we were slowly on our way.
The CJ had both rear axles broken. It was funny/scary to tow this thing. From the rear view mirror I could see the rear tires wiggling in and out. The road is downhill. And it made me think what would I have to do in case one of the axles came off.

Luckily nothing happened. We left them, on the side of Hwy 89. waiting for a real tow truck.
